- Since both of the big chainsaws are out of commision, we tried for the third time to clear the two downed trees on the upper loop of the Poplar Springs trail. We used the arborist's saw, a tiny little baby chainsaw meant for taking with you as you climb up trees. We got the thing started (not easily) and then the damn thing was too dull to cut through the tree (and of course we don't have any way of sharpening the blade at Merkle). It smoked like crazy, and left burn marks on the wood. So, Tara and Kristin and I sawed the trees with hand saws, lopped anything smaller than our wrists, and wailed on them like crazy-people with an axe. Mission accomplished.
- Took the red-eared slider out for a walk. It was pretty chill.
